What a surprise this Phonic 740 Plus is. I was looking to get something more substantial to replace my acoustic guitar amp and I couldn't be happier. Ordered with a pair of 12" monitors which I chained to a couple FOH speakers on stands and it handled them really well, plenty of guts... and man, I had to make sure it was even turned... the background noise (hum & hiss) were just not there ~ super quite amp. This is such an improvement over my noisy little acoustic amp I don't know why I didn't just do this in the first place. Adjustable EFX are clean, tasteful, and very useable. Physically everything seems super solid. The included cables are light gauge but do the job. Perhaps the only waste for me would be the mic, which doesn't sound too bad, but did not have a tight enough pattern and will feedback easily. They could have just kept the mic and cables and this amp would still an awesome value. I really don't think you could find a better value out here. Thanks Phonic!

we needed a backup pa for our group. we have another one of these and although beat up it has served us well in small to medium and even one large outside venue. too bad it does nt have a couple extra mic xlr inputs. hard to dget everyone into the mains. This item was a Restock. itt arrived in good time. out of the box the rear panel was bent in and was pressing on the fan. we just bent it back out and it worked fine. the mic cable they sent was broken but they replaced it and even gave a credit. couldnt have gotten it anywhere else at this low price. you have to watch restocks but they come with the warranty from musicians friend so how can you go worng.

I am a vocalist who uses mostly soundtracks and sometimes instruments. I have used this amp for over five years now on a weekly basis and it has never given me any trouble. I did find using a heavier cable on my mic and speakers helped my sound. I have used Yamaha and I have had 2 Fender passport systems, this is my favorite. I use it with 2 10" peavey's and a shure mic and it easily takes care of small worship center or coffeehouse or a room 30 x 30. I usually set my mics and aux in to 3/4 but my mains I have never put over halfway.

I have had this unit over three years and find nothing wrong with is. I found it easy to set up easy to operate and well made. the fifteen inch speakers are bad to the bone we have used it inside as well as outside and it will surprise you at the sound you get out of this thing. only thing I can say on the down side and it has nothing to do with the system is it sure would have been nice to have more explanations on what each thing was supposed to do but hey if I can do any body can so go on and buy it you want regret it

I had this mixer for 3 years. It's been broken for a year. By broken, I mean it shuts down after 8 minutes or so of use. The onboard effects are useless and aren't good. I never touched the eq's, but this mixer is loud and great. I used it for drumming and it was BLASTING at half volume. Just the way I like it. It's very loud, so if you want loud, this is good. I'm buying a power amplifier right now to replce this. It's only 180 as far as money goes and will make any mixer, keyboard, interface,iPod, or whatever else has outputs, louder. I wish I knew that before I bought this, because I allready had a mixer, it jut was too quite. Whatever suits your needs.

7The Powerpod 740 is a good product, but a bit heavy. The documentation is very poor. There is a switch in the front that controls the output to the amplifiers with settings for L+R, Moni/Main and 1 &amp; 2. In the documentation, this is not explained. I had to find out the hard way that the best setting is 1 &amp; 2. Unfortunately, this was during a live performance. All and all, if you want a powerful mixer at a very affordable price, this is a good buy.

well it took 3 times to get one that didn't break down they must have been Fridays , or Mondays Models. The new one is perfect in every way. I used it on a small gig at my brothers wedding about 90 people in attendance and the sound was great it more than did the job. this is a great little product for the money and the people at Musicians Friend are the best in the business, they made sure I had a replacement in time for the gig and they were very personable, and helpful they went beyond to get the product to me on time. thanks musicians friend for the great product and courtesy extended to me. If you need a small Pa powered mixer this is the one price wise. thanks again Musicians Friend...................just what the Dr. ordered. this pa head does an exellant job. great quality for the price ! it's rugged and very well built

I am a retired professional entertainerwho is wanting to get back out there in small venues. I am retired so I don't have the bucks I once had. so when I saw this deal for the phonic 740 plus package with 15inch speakers I thought why not I won't be pushing it. well I got it and set it up in the practice room It sounded fantastic. I used it every day for about 3 hours a day running a karaoke machine to play my backgroung tracks ans I used the mike provided and also playe my acoustic electric guitar through it. well on the third day it died just shut off, I sent it back and they replaced it the second one lasted for about 2 days and the first channel died. so I sent it back a new one is on it's way they say 3rd time is a charm let's hope so. I am singing at my little brothers wedding , just a small gatheringwill be doing about 2 hours, I hope it gets me through. It is scheduled for delivery wednesday and the gig is friday I will use it for wed and thurs practice. then the gig, let's hope it works well. I know you get what you pay for but come on people , I am glad I bought the 2 year warrenty, lets hope we don't have to go through this every other week for 2 years. soundless in Pennsylvania . ps let's hope the performance Gods are with me ! Ps. when it works it is a fantastic little PA system, great sound and the effects are more than substuntual.

I'd buy it again if I had to. I'll use it mostly for coffee house gigs and other small venues so I will never need to crank it all the way up. Nice to have all that headroom.Good sounding, intuitive controls, belivable effects, relatively light weight and easy to schlepp around.I've only had it a few weeks so I can't attest to its longevity, but it seems to be well-made.Excellent value, especially since I bought it from MF as a used piece of equipment. As usual, MF was very conservative in their description. It is as good as new!
